“Unfortunately this trip was not great. Firstly, the positives - nice boat, lots of cold water and fruit, good equipment provided and the office had showers and toilets at the end for our use. The staff were kind and tried to assist. They also took photos on a gopro for us and we saw turtles and manta rays. Our boat had 15 people on it which might just have been OK if we didn't have big bags and needed to put on snorkelling equipment and flippers and move around in them. The main issue was that the crew didn't communicate how long anything would be - the boat rides, the…”
